VP, Product - Population Health

About the Role

Population health sits at the intersection of risk, quality, and care delivery — and it is where we have the greatest opportunity to change outcomes for patients and the organizations that serve them.

Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer, the VP of Product, Population Health, is a senior leadership role with broad organizational scope — you will own the product strategy and roadmap end to end, lead a team of product managers, partner deeply with engineering, data science, design, and clinical operations, and work hand-in-hand with go-to-market to shape how Innovaccer competes and wins in this market.

We are looking for a seasoned product leader who understands population health not just as a product category but as a domain: someone who has lived in the details of risk stratification, quality measure performance, care gap closure, and value-based care program design — and who can translate that expertise, amplified by AI, into a product that health systems, payers, and physician groups trust as mission-critical infrastructure.

A Day in the Life

Product Strategy & Vision

• Define and own the multi-year product strategy for Innovaccer's population health platform — spanning risk adjustment, quality and HEDIS, care management, and network performance — with AI as the foundational layer across every capability.
• Develop a differentiated point of view on where the market is heading and translate that into an AI-first product roadmap that positions Innovaccer ahead of the curve.
• Partner with the CPO to shape Innovaccer's overall product narrative and communicate strategy to customers, investors, and internal stakeholders.
• Stay close to the evolving regulatory and reimbursement landscape — CMS programs, ACCESS, STARS, MSSP, ACO REACH, and state-level value-based contracts — and build product decisions around it.

Product Management & Execution

• Lead, develop, and grow a team of product managers working across the population health portfolio, cultivating an AI-first mindset and skillset throughout the team.
• Set a high bar for product quality — from discovery and problem definition through to launch and iteration — and model that standard for the team.
• Own the prioritization process across the portfolio, balancing strategic bets with near-term customer commitments and platform investments.
• Drive alignment across engineering, data science, design, and clinical SMEs to ensure the team ships high-quality, high-impact products on a predictable cadence.
• Establish clear success metrics for the portfolio and build a culture of measurement, learning, and iteration — leveraging AI-powered analytics to close the feedback loop faster.

Customer & Market Engagement

• Be the product voice with Innovaccer's largest and most strategic population health customers — joining key conversations, absorbing feedback, and closing the loop back into the roadmap.
• Partner with sales, pre-sales, and customer success to understand where the product wins, where it loses, and what it would take to move the market.
• Develop deep relationships with customer clinical and operational leaders — medical directors, CMOs, quality officers, and population health program leads — to inform product strategy from the ground up.
• Represent Innovaccer's product perspective in external forums: industry conferences, advisory boards, and regulatory consultations.

AI-Native Product Development

• AI is not a feature layer at Innovaccer — it is the foundation. This VP will be the product and will be one of our loudest and most credible voices for building and scaling on that foundation.
• Champion an AI-first development philosophy across the entire product lifecycle — from how we define problems and scope solutions, to how we prototype, validate, launch, and iterate. AI-native is the default; everything else requires justification.
• Serve as an active evangelist for AI in product development: run working sessions, establish best practices, and raise the bar for what the team expects from itself when it comes to leveraging AI tools in their daily workflows — from discovery and spec writing to QA and release.
• Own the mandate to ensure every population health capability is built on and scales within Innovaccer's AI-native platform — working closely with platform, engineering, and data science to maintain architectural integrity as the portfolio grows.
• Ensure hands-on adoption of AI-powered product development tools across the PM team — including AI-assisted research synthesis, automated feedback analysis, generative prototyping, and intelligent backlog managem
